    What is the upside of building panels into the rail instead of next to it?

      This way an ‘innovative’ and ‘disruptive’ approach that can be the basis of a startup that can be sold to a bigger company or IPO for a bunch of money, and as a bonus draw clean energy funding away from tried and tested solutions into inefficient gimmicks that in turn keep the gas plants running that much longer.

      Maybe a bit more protection from the elements? And maybe they’ll design a system to push and clear debris as the train goes over

    We just recently discussed this project:

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/23083174

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/23833792

    I don’t think anything substantial changed since then.

    The only real news are that it’s been inaugurated. If you want a new picture check here
